If you know me, you know I love to listen to Ariana Grande’s newest single “yes, and?” on repeat. But, I also love to spray some of her most delicious and sophisticated scents on me at all times. There have been numerous times when I have gotten into my friend’s car and they stopped and asked me “What are you wearing?” And every time I say “Oh, it’s Ariana Grande’s fragrance.” Today, I’m here to tell you which of Ariana’s fragrances are the best in my opinion.

1. Mod Vanilla

Coming in at number one is Mod Vanilla. In my opinion, I think Mod Vanilla is her best scent ever. The smell lasts all day on my clothes and it is the perfect sweet and fruity vanilla scent. This one never gets old. You can also pair it with Sol De Janeiro 40 and it layers beautifully. Perfect for the vanilla girlies!

2. Cloud

Number two is Cloud. Cloud is definitely one of my top fragrances by her. It is light, sweet, airy, and has the perfect amount of vanilla notes in it. I always get compliments on Cloud and it is perfect for all ages! Cloud is also a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540 so you can be smelling expensive on a budget with this one, so definitely get your hands on it. Not to mention Cloud has also won Women’s Fragrance of the Year for Women’s Popular Fragrance. Go, Ari!

3. Cloud pink

Cloud’s older sister. Cloud Pink is a twist from the original Cloud and I absolutely love it. Cloud Pink has notes of pineapple, dragonfruit, and vanilla. It is warm and spicy and smells delicious. If you have the chance, definitely try this one out because it is one of my top perfumes by Ariana.

4. Ari By Ariana grande

Ah, Ariana’s first ever perfume she released. This was truly the start of her beloved perfume empire. I remember being 10 years old and first picking this up at the store with my mom, and eight years later it is still one of my favorites of all time. Ari by Ariana Grande is a classic; it is sweet, floral, and feminine and has notes of pear, marshmallow, creamy musk, and vanilla orchid. You can’t go wrong with any of these perfume notes they are all so divine! Thank you, Ari!

5. god is a woman

God Is A Woman, the name of Ariana’s hit song off of her album Sweetener has been turned into a perfume. This perfume is super fruity and I think it’s the perfect scent for either spring or summer time. It has notes of juicy pear, creamy cedar wood, and Madagascar vanilla. Another awesome addition to this perfume is that is vegan, cruelty-free, and contains clean ingredients alongside the appealing purple and grey recyclable packaging.

6. cloud 2.0

If you want a more intense and powerful version of the classic Cloud, I say go for 2.0. It is way more intense so if you like that stronger version, I suggest you buy 2.0.

7. Moonlight

Moonlight is both floral and juicy and contains notes of fresh peony, black amber, and vanilla, so you are getting both a sweet and floral scent. Best of both worlds!

8. sweet like candy

Sweet Like Candy is seriously mouthwatering. If you want to smell like you just walked into a candy shop with a sweet, sugary, cotton candy scent, this one is for you.

9. R.E.M

First off, I have to say that the packaging is beautiful. The fragrance sits in this clear-looking, crystal glass holder that will look beautiful on your vanity. This perfume is dreamy, peaceful, and calming while still giving you a sophisticated scent. It contains notes of salted caramel, lavender, and marshmallow. You can take a nap with this fragrance due to the relaxing notes of lavender.

10. Mod blush

The partner to Mod Vanilla. You can also wear these two together and pair them. Mod Blush has top notes of Italian bergamot, bright raspberry, and pink pepper.

11. Thank u, nexT

Thank U, Next is tropical, which has notes of coconuts and smells like you have been lying on the beach all day. This is another great scent by Ariana for the summertime if you want something sweet, tropical, and fruity.

You really can’t go wrong with any of these Ari perfumes. They are all super sweet, floral, and heavenly and everybody loves them. Sweet or fruity, whichever you prefer, there is an Ari perfume for everyone’s fragrance preference. They all have beautiful packaging ranging from pom-poms to crystal glass. They will all have people telling you that you smell delicious! So don’t walk to Ulta, run, and get your hands on any of these!
